Israeli Defense Minister Katz reiterates threat to attack Iran

Defense Minister Katz, in his speech at the memorial ceremony for Israeli soldiers who died during the Suez Crisis in 1956 on Mount Herzl in West Jerusalem, said, "The mission against Iran is not yet completed." he said.

Claiming that Iran has made some attempts that pose a threat to Israel, including obtaining nuclear weapons, Katz said, "We cannot accept these threats. We must be united in the face of the great tasks ahead of us." He repeated the threat of attack with his statements.

Following the elections held in Israel on October 27, President Isaac Herzog announced that he had decided to give the authority to form a government to Gadi Eisenkot, the leader of the opposition Yashar Party, who managed to get the support of 67 MPs.

Eisenkot, whom Herzog will officially authorize today, will have 28 days to form a government, with an additional 14 days if needed.

If Eisenkot manages to form a government with the opposition bloc within this period, the power of the far-right government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and his leadership will come to an end.

Parliamentary elections in Israel were held on October 27, and according to the final official results announced on November 4, the current coalition (53) and opposition blocs (48) could not reach 61 seats, sufficient to form a government in the 120-seat Israeli Parliament.
